Mariah, Cara, and Michaela Cuomo are members of an impressive political dynasty.

Their father is New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, the son of the same state's 52nd Governor, Mario Cuomo, while their mother is celebrated activist and author Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy. Yep, their great-uncle is none other than President John F. Kennedy.

So far, it seems the three sisters are living up to the family's prestigious reputation. Michaela, 22, spent her college years using her platform to give victims of sexual abuse a voice. Mariah, 25, an outdoors enthusiast and athlete, continues to work closely with her mother as an advocate for human rights. And Cara, Mariah’s twin, has traveled the world fighting for social justice.

Cuomo and Kennedy married in 1990, but divorced 15 years later. The governor’s most recent relationship with Food Network star Sandra Lee ended just last September after 14 years. But don’t worry, the governor isn’t combating the coronavirus epidemic alone. In a interview with Jimmy Fallon for an episode of Tonight Show: Home Edition, Cuomo revealed that the "silver lining" to the quarantine was that all three of his daughters were home, kindly hanging out with him. Ahead, more about the women we’re sure make him very proud.

Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo is Andrew Cuomo’s youngest daughter.

Born August 26, 1997, Michaela is 22 years old and falls in exactly the millennial age group that Dr. Deborah Birx has encouraged to stay home to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. At the governor's March 19 briefing, she joined him at the table, urging young people to take the call for social distancing seriously. She even shared the footage to her Instagram Story the same day.

Michaela went to Brown University.

At the Ivy League, Michaela majored in education and human development, with a focus on equality (per LinkedIn). But schoolwork wasn’t the only thing on her to-do list. She also wrote for the Brown Political Review as a culture writer, worked as a sexual assault peer educator, and founded CUSP, an organization that works to prevent sexual assault on campus. Busy girl!

She’s not afraid to get political and is a justice and equality advocate.

A campaign launched under the Obama administration and spearheaded by Vice President Joe Biden, It’s on Us encourages bystanders to speak up while empowering sexual assault victims. Michaela has long been a voice for the campaign, getting the word out on campus, as well as posting about the movement to her Instagram account.

She flexes her political voice further on Twitter with messages that are as unvarnished and candid as 140 characters can be. “This is not only disgraceful, it’s dangerous, as @realDonaldTrump @BrettKavanaugh and @roymoore will fight for legislation that protects privileged assailants at the expense of the survivor. Please prove me wrong,” she wrote in June.

Mariah Kennedy-Cuomo is also an Ivy Leaguer.

Born January 11, 1995, twin Mariah is 25 years old. Like Michaela, she attended Brown, but she majored in history, graduating with honors (per LinkedIn). While there, she was a staff writer for The Brown Daily Herald, using the power of her collegiate press to shed light on topics ranging from teacher shortages to wage abuses suffered by the disabled.

She loves the great outdoors, especially the Adirondacks.

Since she was little, she, her dad, and her sisters would waterski in the Adirondacks on Lake George. “Water skiing is something the Governor used to do with his daughters when they were younger,” a spokesperson told the Adirondack Daily Enterprise last year. And a quick scroll through Mariah’s Insta feed will reveal a birthday trip for her mom was spent white water rafting, with plenty of winters spent suited up on the mountains.

A supporter of her mother’s Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights nonprofit, Mariah has ample starry fodder for her Instagram account—it’s a virtual revolving door for snaps with celebrities, famous faces, and political figureheads. Of course, her dad is probably the biggest star, but there are also posts with former President Barack Obama, Food Network star Sandra Lee, and Coldplay front man Chris Martin. There’s even photographic evidence of a sunbathing trip in Italy with Oscar-winning filmmaker Paul Haggis when Mariah was 18.

Cara Kennedy-Cuomo is a Harvard grad.

Born January 11, 1995, Cara is 25 years old and is Mariah’s twin sister. Though her two sisters went to Brown, she went north to the Massachusetts institution, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in government, with a secondary focus in ethnicity migration and human rights (per LinkedIn). While there, she competed on the sailing team, wrote for the Harvard Human Rights Review, and flexed her political voice with humanitarian causes. Today, she’s an associate on the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights nonprofit, headed by her mother.

She’s lived all over the world.

According to her Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights page, her humanitarian work has taken her all over the globe. She lived in Rwanda, Malaysia, and Colombia when she worked for Jeffrey Sachs. And her fight for LGBTQ+ rights took her to Bangladesh and Myanmar.

In an effort to make his daily briefings a bit more relatable, the governor has turned simply doling out facts into offering of personal tidbits, with expressions of love and moments of candor. “He’s becoming America’s daddy and America’s son at a time when people’s communities and relationships are falling apart. He’s become the protector of the people from a bullet they can’t see,” Hank Sheinkopf, a New York-based political consultant and lifelong friend of Cuomo told U.S. News.

During one of his briefings, he even revealed how he’s handling social distancing and self-isolation himself, noting that though it’s difficult to avoid seeing his family, but Cara was initially home with him. “The last thing you want, to be in Cara’s position is to hang out with the old man...listen to bad dad jokes,” Cuomo said. But to be “with her a few months ...what a beautiful gift that is.”

Now, it seems he has all three daughters have joined dad. While talking to Jimmy Fallon for an episode of Tonight Show: Home Edition, Cuomo said, "You know, they're in their early 20s, so hanging out with dad is not super cool right now. But that was the silver lining to the quarantine, they had to come home."

He added: "In a crazy way, this gave me time with them that I would have never had so that's been great."
